I started losing the higher frequencies on my right ear when I was playing the drums with a rock band in my early twenties. I had a large crash cymbal on the right hand side of my set which would cause me physical pain every time I used it. Stupidly enough I did not wear ear plugs. But that's nothing really compared to when you get married: mysteriously you become profoundly deaf to the frequencies of the female voice . . . :)) -- Regards, Mick
